Description: The Klearway 500 is a rough terrain, rubber-tiredvehicle with a front mounted rotary or shredder-type cutterheaddesigned to clear vegetation from utility right-of-ways, railroadright-of-ways and for site preparation.

Frame: Consists of welded construction front and rear mainframes with structural tubing and fabricated side members. Frontand rear frames are connected by an articulating joint allowing15 degrees of up or down oscillation and 50 degrees right or leftpower steering action.

Weight: Approximately 26,000 lbs with standard 23.1 tiresand rotary cutterhead. 28,000 w/shredder-type cutterhead.

Engine: Equipped with Caterpillar® C6.6 liquid cooled diesel en-gine rated for 202 bhp @ 2200 rpm. Engine equipped with ex-haust muffler and large capacity cooling system.

Propel System: Hydrostatic 4-wheel drive with propel motor driv-ing through a heavy-duty 2-speed powershift transmission.

Transmission and Axles: 2-speed shift-on-the-go transmissionconnected by heavy-duty Dana-Spicer 1550 drive shafts to bothaxles. Heavy-duty Caterpillar® axles with wet disc service brakes.Rear axle has no-spin differential and front axle is limited slip.

Wheels, Tires and Brakes: Tires: 23.1-26 10-ply logger typetire standard. Service brakes are inboard wet disc type. Parkingbrake is driveline-mounted fail-safe spring applied/hydraulic re-leased wet disc.

Hydraulic System: Engine driven pump drive. Loadsense controlhydraulic system. Hydrostatic propel system consists of closed looppump driving a hydraulic propel motor mounted on transmission.Charge loop filtration. Hydraulic reservoir mounted outside enginecompartment with cleanout port and shutoff valve. Cutterhead hy-draulic circuits consist of two closed loop hydrostatic systems withvariable displacement pumps and fixed displacement motors.

Electrical System: 12 volt dc negative ground with engine driv-en 100 amp alternator and two 12-volt batteries w/950 coldcranking amps each.

Cab: Angled front roof panel equipped with Lexan roof viewingwindow reinforced with 1” steel grating. Equipped with pilot-pres-sure hydraulic joystick control for cutterhead lift and tilt functions.Fully enclosed cab with heater and air conditioner. Tilt steeringwheel uses flow amplification to produce a variable oil flow tosteering cylinders in relation to steering wheel speed. Fully ad-justable seat with suspension, seat belts and lumbar support. Frontwindshield wiper, dome light, Lexan windows, front window guard,electric horn and full engine instrumentation are standard.

Cutterheads: Twin disk rotary cutterhead cuts a 8 ft 0 in. swath.Twin disk allows independent rotational control of each disk result-ing in control of discharge of debris. Twin disk with rotary axe-typeblades cuts up to 8 inch trees. Shredder cutterhead cuts 7 ft. 1 in.swath and reduces all vegetation material to a fine mulch.

Travel Speed: Low range: 4.4 mph, high range: 16.6 mph w/23.1 tires.

Capacities: Fuel tank: 81 gallons. Hydraulic tank: 70 gallons.

Ground Clearance: With 23.1 tires: 21”. With 28L26 tires: 23”.

Turning Radius: With 23.1 tires: 16 ft. 4 in outside tires. With28L26 tires: 16 ft. 7 in. outside tires.

Optional Equipment: Optional tire sizes: 23.1x26, 28L26 or67x34.00-25. Rotary twin disk cutterhead or shredder-type cutter-head. Other options available upon request.

The shredder-type cutterhead is ideal wherereduction of vegetation to a finemulch is desired with almost nolimits to the size of material thatcan be processed. The shred-der-type can handle trees,stumps, slash, limbs, roots andmore.

Rear-mounted 20,000 lb.hydraulic winch with cab controlprovides extraction insurance inextreme wet terrain conditions.The winch is equipped with afairlead, tensioner and 160 feetof 5/8” wire cable rated for 20.6tons breaking strength.
